HELP - Dirty, Grungy Tile?

I bought a co-op that is 80 years old and the bathroom is all original. I like the antique look of it but the tile and in the tub is grungy and has stains. I have tried Pine Sol and Comet but they haven‘t helped much. Does anyone have any advice that doesn‘t involve renting power tools and grinding the floors up?HELP.

Answer:

sounds like the enamel is shot on both tub and tiles, if bleach or a professional tile cleaner will not work then you need to replace both
Can't help with the tub as I've no experience with that. For the floor, after giving it a good clean, try a steam cleaner like Karcher. It works a treat on floor and wall tiles. They aren't cheap (ours cost over ?140) but WELL worth it as it can be used to clean all sorts of stuff that doesn't mind water (non-porous things).
HAVE YOU tried GOING to a tile store and buying a Tile cleaning spray? It works really s Well try GETTING Tile and grout cleaner the one for really dirty tiles THEY HAVE like 3 kinds the first 2 are NOT VERY GOOD on really bad floors but that 3 kind is reall GOOD and get a hand brush and go at it ALSO try awlsome its a REAL good cleaner its manly at the 99? store. .
Have you tried Bon Ami or ZUD ?
